“Trump’s Trade Tariffs” good alliteration.

jtpren.bsky.social•4 days ago

Seems like a sensitive subject for Maria

President Trumps Tariffs lol

It’s quite funny watching them *exaggerate* the cost of tariffs.

bananapantz.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ok. Also.

People are buying $80k dodge ram trucks?

In *ANY* economy?!

helloanjo.bsky.social•4 days ago

Have you see America’s trucks? Size and price? I manufacture some of them and yes they sell and they are obnoxiously huge.

leiao.bsky.social•4 days ago

The ones who hollered loudest about the price of eggs (before the election of course).

nf1nk.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not smart people.

jurisdudence.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes. Lots of the "working class" Trump voters.

Morons that don’t know how to handle money

Small business fiefdoms are the backbone of Trump support & $80k Dodge Ram sales

If you want a shock, check what 25 year old trucks are fetching. :/

Old trucks, old tractors, there's a lot to be said for being able to wrench on your own stuff absent an excessive amount of computer control and with a solid basis in good engineering.

Dude for serious. I’ve got a pre-covid Subaru Crosstrek that my wife keeps saying “we should sell”.

And I’m like “Are you OUT of your mind, it’s PAID FOR and has no SIM cards ANYWHERE.”

drakesmitha12.bsky.social•4 days ago

Paid for is massive. Same for no transceivers you don't bring onboard.

The difference between even a single model year now means the difference between fixing a car after an accident or writing it off.

That, and I know what pre-DEF Cummins powered Dodges are going for.

jmteo.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes and they are so fucking dangerously large. Unless you are hauling big ass equipment, no one needs a truck beyond a Toyota Tacoma.

bglazebrook26.bsky.social•4 days ago

It is insane, but the IRS small business 179 deduction has made these giant trucks popular. You can deduct about $30k from taxes if you use it 50% for work. That's one reason that trucks have become bigger and heavier.

jmteo.bsky.social•4 days ago

I wonder how much Murdoch is directing himself at this point

bluedogdemtx.bsky.social•4 days ago

Wait. Why would the price on THAT truck go up? It’s already built and on the lot. ??

WSJ has not been supportive so far.

All while still fluffing him up.
